What has your scholarship meant to you and how has it enabled you to pursue new and exciting opportunities?

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the support of my scholarship donors in the awards that I have received. I am so grateful for the opportunities that these generous awards have provided me. They helped reduce my financial burdens, making it possible for me to pursue my aspirations in the field of engineering. One of my passions is traveling around the world to different countries, where I have the opportunity to meet new people and explore unfamiliar cultures. These scholarships have allowed me to participate in some amazing student exchange programs. Through such experiences I have learned how to communicate and interact with people from all around the world, using my skills and knowledge to improve the lives of others. I hope that one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as my donors have helped me.

How will you make a positive difference in the world?

I have been an active member of the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) organization since the beginning of my college career, working to bring stability and prosperity to the underprivileged communities around the world. Our vision is to provide people with basic human necessities that stem from energy, like clean water and electricity. My involvement with EWB has fueled my desire for knowledge and my drive to achieve more. As I move forward in my engineering degree, I plan to focus my studies in the realms of project management and sustainable design. I work hard everyday in and out of the classroom to put forth my best efforts in everything that I do. I believe that I have the tools, the intelligence, and the passion to accomplish my goals and help make our community a better place. Success comes from following your passion and I aspire to invoke change through engineering because I am passionate about shaping the future.
